[mirror-admin] ISO best practice FTP?

[Brian Long]

It used to be best practice to use an Apache RewriteRule to redirect all
.iso downloads on a Mirror to FTP.  Do people still recommend this or
are you allowing Apache to serve up the ISOs directly?

I own a private mirror for Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, etc. and I
have a conf snippet as follows:

KeepAlive On
KeepAliveTimeout 2
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} GET
RewriteRule ^(.*\.iso)$ ftp://<hostname>.cisco.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Thanks for any feedback.
